2011 NYBBC Awards Banquet

[landtracdeerhunter]

Just returned home from the 2011 awards banquet. First of all, I would like to thank everyone that makes this possible. It must be a huge undertaking to plan and put on such an event. Thank you. The awards presentation was great. It most enjoyable to hear all the humor, and the stories, oh the stories, they were great. The MC did a wonderful job also. Now the trophys, oh those trophys. Never have I seen that amount in one building before. Alot of big deer harvested in 2009, 2010. Everyone was great. Now if you don't have the 16th edition of the Whitetail Record Book, get yourself one. It is the best by far. Beautiful color photos, and tons of stats.

Wow, wish I would have been able to see this. Any pictures?

[landtracdeerhunter]

There were also black bears there. Those full mounts sure looked real and were nicely done. The bears rugs were great. We don't get a chance to get that close to many bears on the west side of the state. I try to post some pictures today.

Yes, I was there yesterday too. 5 1/2 hour drive to get there. Had a great time. Incredible deer. To top it off, I won the 50/50, $639. That paid for my mount and then some. Joe did a great job on the mic. Some of those stories were hysterical.

Glad everyone had a great time yesterday at the banquet... Pete it was nice meeting you... I've been Emceeing the dinner for 11 years now and I enjoy meeting the people and giving out the awards... sometimes its hard with the length of the program to keep things interesting, but we do our best to entertain as well as just hand out certificates.

some pics I took

[burmjohn]

Wow, those are some big bucks!

[nyantler]

That was just a handful.. there were 90 heads there I believe... 307 total big bucks entries in 2010.. 5 boone & Crocketts... 12 new County #1's

Yeah, 2010 was one heck of a season. I wonder if 2011 will compare. Nice to meet you too Joe, much better to put a face with a screen name.

Even if its an ugly face..

NY has some big boys......we are a sleeper state!!!

[burmjohn]

Were a majority of these deer taken in any one region / WMU or it was split all of these the state?

[landtracdeerhunter]

I would say most of the WMU's were well represented. To me, it looks like the trend is growing towards larger racks in N.Y.S.. At least the ones I saw. Maybe attending the BBC awards, just makes it seem that way, don't know ? I'm sure Joe knows the answer. They say a picture holds a thousand words, well their are millions in that "Record Book." Really pumps up the old blood, a month to the day, when bow starts!

[pistolp71]

A lot of different counties were represented, but I thought more came from western NY than anywhere else.

[BizCT]

Curious if there is a link or anything listing the deer? Was wondering if any came from 3N, 3S, etc?

[nyantler]

I do have a personal list... deer are classified by County though.. so not sure if we can get specific areas.

[BizCT]

County is fine.....anyway to view this? Im curious about Putnam, Westchester, Dutchess, Rockland, etc?

[nyantler]

Let me see what I can do

six from Westchester scores: 121,121,121,123, 130, 131

one fron Dutchess score:137

no Putnam or Rockland County entries

[nyantler]

That doesn't mean there were none killed in Putnam, it could be that they just didn't enter any. hard to believe it.. but some guys don't know the NYS Big Buck Club exists even though they have been around for 39 years

[nyantler]

Let me see what I can do
